ABOUT THIS WINE
Château Bas d'Aumelas Rouge is a red wine from the AOC Languedoc, specifically the Grès de Montpellier sub-appellation in the Languedoc region of France. The estate, Château Bas d'Aumelas, has a history dating back to the 14th century and has been owned by the d'Albenas family for over two centuries. The current generation, Jean-Philippe and Geoffroy d'Albenas, revitalized the estate starting in 2002, focusing on organic viticulture and replanting vineyards. The wine's distinctiveness stems from its location on the Causse d'Aumelas, a high-altitude terroir at 300 meters, which contributes to its balance and freshness. The vineyard is protected by 800 hectares of garrigue, and the soil is composed of clay and limestone.
